Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Motion Bed at 5.0 against SwitchBot's 3.3. Motion Bed also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 34%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). SwitchBot's advantage is ratings volume (847 vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
